It was imagery of gambling. And yeah, that tracks.

Sure, but there isn't any actual gambling, and Balatro works a lot differently to actual gambling. It's not the gateway drug PEGI seems to think it is...

But there is imagery of gambling. If GTA had a casino and people playing the cards, they'll get a similar rating for it.

Super Mario 64 DS had you sitting at a poker table in a casino playing poker. New Super Mario Bros had the same poker game, but I'm not sure if that one was in a casino. PEGI rated both of them 3+.

The poker game in both games is in a very obvious casino environment. PEGI is smoking something.

Smoking that Nintendo cash.

Not to mention the pokemon games, many of which had slot machine minigames.
